App Launching On Valentine’s Day Allows Users To Remove All Traces Of Exes From Facebook Timelines

Just in time for Valentine’s Day -- launching Thursday, in fact -- comes mobile application KillSwitch, which allows users who are still Facebook friends with their exes to eliminate all traces of that person from their timelines.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day — launching Thursday, in fact — comes mobile application KillSwitch, which allows users who are still Facebook friends with their exes to eliminate all traces of that person from their timelines.

The app will launch Thursday for iOS and Android, and while it will cost $0.99 in the App Store and Google Play, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association of New York.

How does it work? As long as both parties are still Facebook friends, KillSwitch will use bots to scour the user’s profile of all content tagged with their former significant other’s Facebook ID: photos, videos, wall posts, and status updates.

Users can then choose to delete all content, manually choose which content to delete, or store everything in KillSwitch folders on their Facebook accounts that only they can see.
